'Renters Are Struggling': Economists Back Tenant-Led Push for Federal Rent Control

  • There's a supply shortage.

    You can't sprawl your way out of this problem, despite Texas' best efforts. All you do there is create traffic.

    The answer is simple. Legalize housing. More triplexes, more quadplexes, more ADUs, 5 over 1s, more of everything. Developers want to fill this demand. They can't. They're hamstrung by city ordnances and state laws that often only allow apartments or single family housing. Not everyone wants or needs a separate house. Make rent boring again and the corporations will lose interest.

  • The same reason General Popov was dismissed then attacked by state media. The same reason Prigozhin encountered minor resistance on his march to Moscow.

    Morale is low, stockpiles are depleted and industry is decimated, partially by sanctions and partially by mobilization.

    Russia is using WWII tactics with cold war era equipment. Thousands of artillery pieces don't mean a whole lot if you can't put counter-battery fire on a HIMARS. Thousands of mobiks aren't going to be effective if they don't have modern training and equipment. Russia wasted hundreds of guided missiles on residential targets with no strategic value in the middle of a war.

    The war is already lost. The only question now is how many more Russians have to die on Ukrainian soil before Putin starts to care.
